2006 Jaguar XK 4.2L Petrol · CV06 SCZ

The Jaguar XK presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 26 September 2025 at 140,461 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though the vehicle failed two days earlier on 24 September 2025 at 140,460 miles with no defects listed, a pattern consistent with an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in 2022, 2023, and 2024 all passed with no advisories recorded. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,000 miles against the car's 2006 build date, a typical use rate for a two-decade-old grand tourer. The records show steady accumulation: 125,874 miles in October 2022, 130,728 in October 2023, 134,125 in November 2024, and 140,461 by September 2025. A gap of nearly ten months between the 2024 and 2025 tests is the only irregularity, but the 6,336 miles covered in that span stays in line with the long-term average. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with five consecutive tests showing no advisories or recorded defects. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as a clean MOT sheet on a 20-year-old Jaguar does not confirm the absence of hidden rust in sills, subframes, or suspension mountings. The XK's aluminium body resists rot better than steel rivals, yet floor pans and rear chassis sections warrant close scrutiny. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be physically checked for age-related wear despite no tester flags. The lack of advisories across 14,587 miles suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but consumables such as tyres and wiper blades remain outside the recorded scope and must be verified on sight.
